The spirit which has pervaded every form of activity has been es- sentially good, and never more 50 than during the visit of the various committees of the General. Assembly. The support of athletics. both financially and morally, is increasing from year to year, and in gen- eral. it may he said that the spirit behind everything is the general uplmilding 0f the University. The changes that have taken place in the University during the last decade are worthy of note. The number of students has been doubled. and the value of the buildings aml equipment has increased mzmy fold. The faculty has zilm been very much enlarged ln fact. the Univeraity has reached the very highest point of development possible under its limited income. which is derived almost entirely from the federal government and the interest 011 investments. The L'niversity possesses all the natural qualifications necessary for a great Stale university, and towards the tttztinment of this purpose emit a technological, an agricultural. or a classical school. but all three in UllC--Il1C labors 0f the Trustees and Faculty are being dirccted. To aid them in their great efforts, the General Assembly has made a conditional appropriation of 2425.000; Mr. John L. Rhea, of Knoxville, has exdowcd the engineering departmcnt to the extent of $7.600, and Mr. Andrew Carnegie has promised to lmiltl a library building to cost $40,000, providul the University raises an equal en- flrm'ment for perpetual income. hit the institution can never become what it should be until the State of Tennessee recognizes its plain and bouiidcn duty. and gives to the Univereity the support. which will enable it to become the equal or superior of any institution of lxzn'ning in our broad Soutlilanrl, and furnish free tuition to every son and daughter of the State. That and then only can this great University hecmne The University of Tennessee.
